So we bought a ticket anyway and arranged to meet backstage with Bowling for Soup, the only band at the concert not under contract with a Disney recording label. Yet.
As we entered the arena, Everlife was beginning its set. It's a contemporary Christian girl band that signed a record deal with Disney in January and does songs for Disney movies. As Bowling for Soup tour manager Sean Baggins steered us to the band's greenroom, we could hear the stadium shake with pleasure-shrieking. Nobody screams like girl.
Backstage, BFS were lying around on couches, eating chips and watching Everlife play its short set on a closed-circuit monitor. The BFS frontman, Jaret Reddick, was busy memorizing lyrics.
The first verse of the band's hit "1985" goes like this:
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned 24
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?
